✧✦oo6 : Wounded Hearts;

"You still like sweet things, Chorong? I thought you would order an Americano!!" Woohyun chuckled as the trio enters the lobby, this time with no one paying not one bit attention to their entrance. Everyone seemed busy and occupied with whatever they currently got their hands on.

Unlike what had just happened outside..

They were simply going to a nearby coffee cafe for a cup of coffee, of course, and to catch up on happenings. Woohyun kept boasting on about his upcoming debut that they didn't really talk much of Naeun. Still, Chorong was deeply curious about the girl.

After finishing their casual chat, they found their way back to the agency building, earning quite an amount of attention on the way there. The crowd was parting before Chorong, with Woohyun and Myungsoo following behind. It seemed as if she were royalty, parting the crowd with just one look.

Then afterwards reporters and paparazzi came dashing right in front of Chorong. Chorong remained her composure while the other two boys felt a bit awkward under the sudden attention. After Chorong had finally lead their way past the continuously prying reporters, the trio arrived at the lobby.

"You don't know how long it's been since I ate anything sweet! I haven't eaten a cake in months!!" Chorong pouted.

"Aigoo ~ Woohyun-oppa will make you a cake, then!!" Woohyun swings his arms around Chorong's waist.

"Yah!! Let go of me! And we're born in the same year, I don't have to call you oppa!" Chorong tried to pry his arms off her.

"Aishh.. Why don't you guys stop acting like a couple! Do you notice I'm right here, you know?" Myungsoo spat.

"It's not me! It's all him!" Chorong whinned, pointing at Woohyun, who still won't let go of her.

"Wae? You don't like my hug?" Woohyun pouted. 

Myungsoo shuddered, They act like a lovey-dovey couple.. Ugh..

"Fine then. If Myungsoo doesn't enjoy our company, let's leave together!!" Woohyun smiles from ear to ear. I haven't had a date with her in ages! Maybe we could start going out again..!

"Well, it's been awhile since we hung out.. Sure then," Chorong smiled, yet her smile didn't reach her eyes. I guess this give me an opportunity to tell him..

Woohyun grinned in delight, "See you later, Myungsoo!" Woohyun patted Myungsoo's shoulder as Chorong waved and the 'couple' walked off.

Myungsoo sighed to himself and his loneliness.

Before he could head off outside, a glimpse of a familiar face caught his eye. The girl simply shut her phone and sighed, sending strands of her golden-brown hair flying and soon falling back to place around her doll-like face. Her big gleaming eyes gleam with worry and concern as she sighed once again.

Soon the girl caught Myungsoo's eye and beamed, her smile warming up the lobby, and with eyes that seemed full of sunshine once again.

"Myungsoo-ah! My Myung-kitty!!" the girl chirped as she dashed over to Myungsoo.

"Yah! Don't call me that, Namjoo!" Myungsoo scolded, a bit embarrassed by the name.

People begun to stare at the pair, who seemed touched by the reunion between them.

​"Namjoo is so cute ~"

"Ah, it's been awhile since we see the son and daughter of both of the Company Head's."

"Pfft..Myung-kitty..?"

"Hmph. Why can't I? I'm your cousin, we should have sisterly-no..brotherly-no, that's not it.. Ah!! We should have cousinly love!" Namjoo beamed.

Myungsoo burst in laughter, "Cousinly love? Is that even a word?"

Yes, that's right! Namjoo and Myungsoo are cousins! Both their fathers are the founder's of SKY HIGH ENT. And they also share the same surname : Kim Myungsoo & Kim Namjoo. They both grew up together in the bussiness, along with Sunggyu. Namjoo became a model at such a young age, often causing her to travel a lot. Sunggyu had been..rather influenced to become part of the business and is currently going to a business university in Seoul. And then there's Myungsoo..

Namjoo pouted, "That isn't a way to show how much you missed your own cousin.. Myung-kitty!" Namjoo teased.

"Yah! Ok, I'm sorry, alright? Just don't call me Myung-kitty in public! You don't know how much I've been embarrassed by Woohyun!" Myungsoo pleaded in defeat.

"Sure. You just don't know how to love. That's why you're such a cold lonely child!" Namjoo exclaimed.

"Whatever. So how's Japan with Sungyeol? How's that drama he's in?" Myungsoo asked.

"Haah.. All you ever care about is that Yeolie-Choding.." Namjoo pouted, He seems exhausted.. Sungyeol hasn't eaten in a while.. Aigoo.. I hope he's not skipping his meals again..

"Ah! I'm sorry! And how's that photoshoot with that Japanese fashion line? Wait, what are you even doing back here in Seoul? Aren't you supposed to be back next week with Sungyeol?" Myungsoo asked, very curious as to why Namjoo is here.

"Wow. Took you awhile to notice.." Namjoo half-heartedly smiled.

"So what are you doing back so early? Was there a change in your schedule or.." Myungsoo's eyes wandered off and spotted a girl whose long black hair flew as she ran. S-Son Naeun..?

As soon as Naeun realized Myungsoo was looking her way, she ran off with tears streaming out of her eyes.

"Eh..?" Namjoo followed his gaze to Naeun who was crying a river.

"N-Naeun!! Yah! Son Naeun!!" Myungsoo dashed after her, leaving Namjoo in wonder of who the girl is.

Ah, that girl.. Myungsoo must like her, no? Namjoo giggled to herself.

She took a deep sigh and regained her composture, proceeding to the elevator. I hope nothing goes wrong between them.. Not like how it was with me and Sungyeol..

Myungsoo sprinted with all his might after Naeun, whose sobs you can hear as she ran.

"Naeun..! SON NAEUN!" Myungsoo called, still desperate to catch her. Naeun didn't dare take a look back.

Soon Naeun reached a dead end, with Myungsoo just a few feet away.

Finally, I can catch up with her. Myungsoo breathed.

As soon as he turned the corner into the dead end, he spotted Naeun.

Feelings overtook his actions and he desparately grabbed Naeun..and kissed her.

"Where am I? I'm in the lobby, right? Aishh, I'm so lost!!" Naeun whacked her head as a punishment for running away and getting lost in the process.

Naeun just ran off without thinking; her legs doing all the work for her.

After seeing the huge poster of herself hung on the bulletin, seeing everyone's face bursting in laughter and some even taking pictures of the poster.. It made her feel like a real life walking piece of trash.

She was glad she bolted out of there as fast as she could, but now was regretting it after coming across yet another unfamiliar place in the enormous SKY HIGH ENT. Building.

"Naeun? Son Naeun!! Aigoo, where can she be?" sighed the familar voice of Eunji not too far off. Naeun ran and hid behind a nearby trashcan.

"I wish I could unsee those things for her and then tear down all of those posters of her!!" Bomi said determined.

"Or maybe I should've shown her the picture from earlier at least.." Eunji mumbled.

"I'm so worried about her!! Those pranks are just so.." Bomi sighed as they casually walked past Naeun.

As soon as they were out of sight, Naeun got up from behind the trashcan and decided to find her way to Sungjong or at least find her way back to Sunggyu's office. Even though he may not be there at the moment, she can still start writing her resignation letter.

"Yah! Ok, I'm sorry, alright? Just don't call me Myung-kitty in public! You don't know how much I've been embarrassed by Woohyun!" yelped a deep familiar voice.

Naeun spun just in time to see Myungsoo. Glad to see a familiar face, she step forward, about to call his name. But something stopped her.

Myungsoo was with another girl.

Not just any girl, she was beautiful. She could be just as beautiful as Park Chorong.

She thought back to earlier when she had seen Myungsoo with Park Chorong and Woohyun from the rooftop.

Naeun thought back to the restrooms at school, where she had started her revenge, right after when Myungsoo humiliated her in front of everyone at school.

"But she's really ugly, Myungsoo-oppa doesn't deserve a girl like her! Ew," one girl said in disgust. "Then who?" one girl blankly asked. "Like Park Chorong!! She's so perfect! I wish I were her.." another exclaimed. "She is perfect. She has a pretty face and a nice personality!" they all adoringly sighed.

Maybe he could just start dating Park Chorong! Or that girl he's with..instead of me.. Tears started to form in the rim of Naeun's eyes.

Before she could wipe her tears away she ran.

The tears that were merely forming started to fall down her face. Soon her vision got blurry due to the pouring of her tears, but she still ran on. It's as if her legs and tears had a life of their own. She didn't want to cry at a time like this, but still she did.

She could hear someone close behind shouting her name. She cried even more and ran harder, as if the voices were evil monsters chasing her in a dream.

But this was no dream. She can't model. She can't even smile in front of a measly camera. Just as Myungsoo said, she was ugly and wouldn't date a girl like her.

What made her think she could be beautiful? Even more beautifuller than Park Chorong? What made her think that maybe a teeny tiny part of Myungsoo's heart likes her just a bit?

Just what was she thinking?

Naeun had lost all hope.

She still heard her name being yelled from behind her. Her knees began to weaken, wobbling with every step.

She turned the corner, she felt as if she were to collapse. Her legs felt like they were melting and she felt herself loose her balance and falling towards the floor.

Just as she was about to hit the cold brutal floor, she felt a warm body against her. The warm person embraced her into his arms and held her gently.

She looked up through her eyes full of tears, the blurryness making it hard for her to recognize the gentleman.

Then she felt his fingers caress her face and wipe away a tear. He brought her chin upward with his finger and suddenly kissed her.

She hadn't had a clue to who this guy was, just kis
